Dont know what to do ?

Hi,

You need to copy the text in the "IMG code" box on the right hand side of the page then just paste that into your post where you want the picture to be.

It will look like this before you hit submit reply;

And like this in the actual post;

Onto the problem.

Those hides are huge - they really like hides small enough to touch them on all sides.

I would go to a garden center and get some drip trays made for flowerpots like these and cut an opening in the side for them to get in and out of.

The viv is also huge which might or might not be a problem for the snake.

I would add in some more plastic foliage and the smaller tight hides.

I would also get the digital thermometers with probes to get a better read on what the temps actually are. Those dial thigns just aren't reliable - and the snake is more focused on the temps inside the hides rather than anywhere else.

thanks everyone ill see what i can do

I think it's just a combination of issues. Handling probably happened too much. Personally, I would wait a full week before any handling or additional feeding attempts. The snake will be just fine for a little while, and I think you'll get a better response if you let the snake be.

As for the tank... definitely get a digital thermometer/hygrometer with probes. They sell them all over the place. I got mine at Radio Shack. If it were me, I would double check hide sizes and maybe just give it two for now - one on each side. Cover some of the tank sides with fake plants or towels to give extra security. That should help.

right everyone im going out today to buy the following
digital thermometer / hygrometer
fake plants
light shield thing
and ill see what else is there

thanks for all your help ill buy all of this then leave her for a week before trying to handle
